Social Determinants of Health, Processes, & Outcomes in T2D

Conclusions


In conclusion, this study validated a conceptual framework of the relationship between social determinants of health and diabetes outcomes. Social determinants are contextual factors, which may vary by region and additional work is needed to fully understand these relationships globally. Results from this study suggest future interventions may benefit from including multiple factors including in the model, such as psychological factors and access to care rather than focusing on self-care. Consistent with the model, social determinants of health were directly associated with glycemic control, in addition to being associated with self-care, access to care and processes of care which are themselves associated with glycemic control. Interventions taking these factors into account are more likely to be effective at helping patients with type 2 diabetes achieve good outcomes.
